Race Porsche in Forza to Unlock Real Life Bonus Level

Porsche is issuing a challenge to all Forza 7 players, offering one gamer the chance to take the step into reality at Porsche’s Master Cup Training in Barcelona.

To enter you just have to enter a lap time from your home, to Forza’s “Rival” mode. Enter your time in a 911 GT3 RS at this website before August 7 and be one of the 48 fastest people on earth to enter stage two of the competition.

Stage two will divide the best 48 into four groups of 12, who will play off in a best of two free-for-all on August 11. The best six players from each group will then play off on August 12.

The players, again, will be divided into groups of 12, with best four from each group (in a best of three free-for-all) heading to Gamescon.

On August 22, the 8 will face off at Gamescom in Cologne. After another round of competition, the top four will be given driver training, in Liepzig, Germany on August 27.

They will then be invited to the Hungaroring Grand Prix track in Hungary for the final round of competition. The four players will face off on a Porsche simulator and the one with the fastest lap time will win entry to the Porsche Master Cup Training in Spain.

A 17,000 euro value ($20,000-ish), the Porsche Master Cup Training course takes place over two days, in which time drivers are lent a 911 GT3 RS or Cup car and taught to drive on slicks.

Normally, the course is only open to people with a Master Licence and limited to 16 people per session, since each driver is also given an engineer and teacher to drive with.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
